Julie Edmenson, BACP

Julie Edmenson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers calm, practical support for people feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by life changes. Many come when they are coping with grief, parenting strains, low self-esteem or motivation. She focuses on clear, compassionate conversation and tailors her approach to each person’s needs.

Julie works in plain language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful. She listens for the patterns behind difficulties and helps people name what is happening. That can include looking at attachment and relationship themes, the stories people tell themselves, or techniques to notice thoughts and feelings in the moment.

Across her 11 years of practice she has supported people through bereavement, end-of-life issues and long-term caregiving stress, as well as separation and divorce. She is attentive to shame, guilt and control issues and addresses behaviours such as avoidance or impulsivity when they get in the way of daily life.

Sessions are shaped by the person’s goals, whether that is managing anxiety, rebuilding confidence, or finding a way forward after loss. Julie emphasises practical steps alongside reflection, so conversations translate into everyday changes. She welcomes clients who want steady, respectful support while they work through difficult transitions.

People can expect a collaborative relationship where their experience guides the pace and focus of work. Julie draws on multiple approaches to match what each person needs, and she helps people build coping skills they can use after counselling ends.

Approach and online counselling options

Julie draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connection and trust. This approach can help people who find themselves repeating the same hurtful patterns in relationships or who struggle with fear of abandonment.

She also uses client-centred methods, which place the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. That means the counsellor follows the client’s pace, offers empathic listening and helps people clarify their own goals. Narrative therapy is another strand she uses to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Julie treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss options with each person and tailor the work to their goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Practical benefits of working online should be checked before booking because the biography does not list session formats. Ask about which session types are currently offered and how they fit into your day. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel, and some prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations to reduce screen time. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose a pattern of sessions that fits your routine and aims.
